WASHINGTON — Today, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Notices of Funding Opportunity for the Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Grant Program and the FIFA World Cup Grant Program. Through the FIFA World Cup Grant Program, FEMA will provide $625 million to the 11 cities hosting games in 2026. Host cities can use this money to carry out critical security preparations and activities like training and exercises, staff background checks and cybersecurity defense, as well as increased police and emergency response for FIFA venues, hotels and transportation hubs.
